FAITH VERSUS LUCK
The other day I heard of a man whose only motivation was luck. He tried to make a living by gambling in the lottery, and indeed, he was lucky. When he won the biggest prize someone asked him how he did it. He said, “I was smart and I was lucky.” Pressed for further details, he said, “I like the number 7. I figured two 7’s would be luckier than one, so I multiplied 7 times 7 and put all my money down on number 48 and I won!” The friend said, “But 7 times 7 is 49, not 48!” The man replied, “I know, that’s the lucky part.” How very different is true faith in the eternal God who holds all things in his hands.
